Byu @ sdst

Intangibles: The Aztecs seemingly enter the game with all the momentum in the world. They've won seven in a row, are looking for their first 10-win season in 35 years, won a conference championship for the first time since 1998 and are playing at home. BYU has known pretty much all season that it was heading for the Poinsettia Bowl. It struck a deal in the offseason of appearing in that game this year as long as it wasn't contending for a BCS berth. And that dream all but died in September with a loss to in-state rival Utah. The Aztecs also consider BYU their rival, and the feelings most likely are not mutual

San Diego is a strong running game, but BYU matches strenght with strenght with their stout, proven, top running Defense and overall defense, so I can't bet San Diego St. On the other hand, BYU's qb situation is up in the air. Nelson turns the ball over like a hot potato and the other qb isn't really better. Their young back Williams turned out to be a pleasant surprise and she should get plenty of touches. That being said, San Diego State's defense is no cake walk. It will be a defensive battle with some turnovers sprikled on top. Maybe not as an epic defensive battle as Utah St. @ BYU. It's a very low total for a reason. I purchased .5 and went under 49.

The least you could have done was include the link to the material you copied/pasted from USA Today...

I thought the intangibles for this particular game were interesting

BYU is built to stop the run, you need to pass to beat them. SDST is not it... # 108 in passing, the SDST QB is #2, #1 got injured mid season. SDST runs the ball, their key # 2 RB Kazee is out, so the whole burden is on one guy. He might wear down.

BYU has stoudt D and balanced O (BYU can throw MUCH better than SDST), was unlucky with some close SU losses (ND), played at stronger schedule (#55 to #91 Sagarin) than SDST. SDST D is good, too, beat Boise without an offensive TD.

The thing is, for SDST it is almost a home game, getting 3.5 pts, the game is in SD, and a warm weather team in warm weather vs. a colder weather team usually have an advantage. And I like the MWC. BYU is independent, for now, so who knows how to look at that...

At this point, I lean to BYU. But TBD.

Except the SDSU running attack isn't just one guy. Muema is the name people know, but their strong running attack is also dependent on their very experienced offensive line and strong play from their fullback, Chad Young. They're successful because of great lead blocking, consistently opening up seams for the RBs. Losing Kazee hurts them, but Chase Price brings a lot of talent to the field as the #2 for this game, and Kazee will be on the sidelines coaching Price all game.

The fact that they lost Ronnie Hillman last year (1784 rushing yards) and then went on to set a school record in rushing this season should imply that they have a fairly robust group contributing to their ground attack. It was never just about one guy.

Jago2008 · 12-20-12, 06:29 AM

Anyone that thinks SDSU is going to roll over to BYU, based solely on BYU's reputation has a.) never watched SDST play this year and b.)will suprised tomorrow when they see a score below 47.5 but even more strongly under 24 in the first half.

Bbfromgpt · 12-20-12, 07:16 AM

SDSU wins a low scoring game.

Rob7168 · 12-20-12, 10:16 AM

Is it me,,or is EVERY TOUT on SD St. mmmm,,getting me worried. I like SD st. but when i see this much action on one side makes me worry,,,any thoughts????? thx and good luck Rob

Believeland · 12-20-12, 12:40 PM

I saw sdsu play one time this year against Boise and they couldn't move the ball for anything.. BYUS defense should really slow them down and give up minimal points. If I also remember correctly about that game was Harper of Boise ate up that sdsu defense rushing getting huge chunks at a time.

if I knew BYUS offense would score more than 10 points I would take them large but we will see, the unders low might could be a great play.

innovation · 12-20-12, 04:56 PM

keys for me

and I awlays look defense first

BYU defense 2ncd in rush yards allowed per game at 81.5
BYU is #1 in not allowing opponents 3rd down success they avergae a insane 27% coversion rate and only 3.6 3rd down coversions per game.

Im gunna actually side with Vegas and eat the questionable road chalk on two teams I see as a pick em type game.

Bronco Mendenhall is defensively minded and while BYU has faired poor ATS in the telivised games this year. I just think it to easy to take the home team who happens to be catching point.

hoopdreams · 12-20-12, 05:11 PM

I'm leaning towards a 1H under... BYU has a question mark about it's offense.

San Diego St. is on a hot streak, but I like BYU's defense here. So i'm a bit torn.

PaperTrail07 · 12-20-12, 05:13 PM

going with a tough BYU team here....older stronger....closer to "god"

PaperTrail07 · 12-20-12, 05:13 PM

hoop ...I like that action right there...

hoopdreams · 12-20-12, 05:30 PM

1H BYU -2.. Up by a field goal for a good Defensive team. I'll take that at half!

BOL!

Different roster each year, that trend means nothing

Bbfromgpt · 12-20-12, 05:38 PM

This game has the feel of a sdsu win or BYU by 1-3

Prior to 2010, the Aztecs hadn't had a winning record since 1998. No doubt BYU has had the stronger program for the last 15 years, but that's immaterial to the current matchup.
